Episode 01
🌷Rose Gilbert 🌷
I woke up this morning.
I sighed.
Only God knows what await me from Mom.
I got into the bathroom and freshen up.
I dressed up.
I got down.
” Good morning Mom” I greeted.
” Keep your good morning to yourself, just look at the time you are waking up and you are here telling me good morning” she said.
I sighed.
” Mum it is just few minutes past seven” i said.
” So?
” Am sorry mum” i apologized.
” Keep that sorry to yourself” she said.
” Mum please where is dad” I asked..
” Are you asking me that? Get the hell out of my sight now and get into the kitchen” she yelled.
I scurried to the kitchen.
Tear dropped from my eyes.
Why is mom behaving like this?.
Am rose Gilbert and am 25years.
I was ten years when I lost my parents in a ghastly Motor accident. I fell unconscious.
A good Samaritan help us and took us to the nearby hospital.
I was later told my parents are dead and I have no where to stay.
I cried with no tears left in my eyes.
The doctor decided to take the me the orphanage home.
I lived there until I was fifteen years when I was adopted by Mr and Mrs Wilson.
They couldn’t have a child of their own so they decided to adopt me.
I was so happy afterall I will get parental love and care.
They enrolled me in a school and care for me like their own daughter.
But recently mum have been acting cold towards me.
She just hate me now for no reason.
She slapped me at any slight opportunity.
She shout and get angry at me for no reason.
She told me not to get a job not to talk of Working if I still want to continue living in her house.
I have no choice but to obey her since I don’t have anyone else.
I don’t have friends.
Am always indoor.
She was once Caring and loving but suddenly she changed towards me.
I really don’t know what I have done to her.
I prepared the breakfast and serve it.
” Mum am done ” I said to her.
She looked at me, she stood up from her seat.
She hissed and push me away from her way.
I looked at her.
I got into dad’s room.
I met him going through the news paper.
” Good morning Dad” I greeted
He looked up at me and smiled.
” Good morning rose, how was your night”
” Fine dad, thank you”
” You look beautiful rose” he said looking at me lu$tfully.
I felt uncomfortable.
” Hmmm.. your breakfast is ready” i said.
” Okay dear, am coming” he said.
I nodded my head and left.
What is wrong with Dad?
For the past few weeks he has been looking at me sed-ctively.
Is he lusting after me?.
Oh merciful God.
Please save me.
I got to the dinning.
” Where were you? Mum asked eating.
” I went to call Dad” i said.
” You can have your breakfast and when you are done I have some clothes in my room..you will wash it for me” she said.
” But mum…i just washed some clothes yesterday” I said.
” Keep quiet fool..just do as I say” she said angrily.
I sighed.
I sat down to eat my food.
” And what are you trying to do? She asked.
” I want to eat” i said.
” You mean you want to sit down here and eat? She asked.
” Yes mum, is something wrong??
” Something is wrong with you.. will you get out of here and eat in your room before dish the food on your head ,you fool” she yelled angrily.
I took the food and went to my room.
Tears dropped from my eyes.
If only my parents were alive I wouldn’t be here today suffering.
Mum, dad why did you leave me?
Death why?
Why did you took my parents away from me?
Why does it have to be me?
Mom and dad made lots of promises to me but couldn’t fulfil it.
Why??
I wept silently.
🌷 Mrs Raymond 🌷
” Nath, for how long will you keep living this way? I asked.
” No one ever wished for this to happen but it has happened and there is nothing we can do” i said.
He kept quiet.
” You cant continue like this Nath, it’s been three years, three good years since Sara left”
” Mum please” he said coldly.
I sighed.
” Nath, this kids need motherly care and love” i said trying to convince him.
” So? I can give it to them” he said.
” No Nath, you can’t fill the place of a mother in their lives” i said.
” Mum I don’t want to have this conversation anymore” he said.
” Just take a look at yourself Nathan, you have become so cold hearted since Sara left. You were once a loving and caring husband and great son to us but now ? Nathaniel please you can’t continued like this.. you deserve to be happy” I said.
” I lost my happiness the day Sara left me” he yelled walking again.
” Nath, Nath” I called.
I sighed.
I really don’t like seeing my son like this.
I know he is still hurt but it’s been three years.
I understand he loves Sara so much and we all loved her but..
There was nothing we could do about it.
I really felt sorry for Nathaniel.
He is going through a lot.
If he keeps acting this way.
What about his two kids?
What will happen to them.
They couldn’t receive mother’s love and now father’s love??
NOT ANYMORE 💝
😭 Death why? 😭
Episode 02.
🌷 Nathaniel 🌷
I got into the room and met my children.
I smiled at them.
” Dad, come and brush my hair for me” Mabel said.
She is five years while angel is seven years.
” Dad I want to help her but she refused” angel said.
I smiled.
I collected the brush from her.
I started brushing her hair as gently as I could.
” Dad, brush it gently” she said with her tiny voice.
” Am brushing it darling” i said .
” But dad you are hurting me” she whined.
I stopped.
“Am sorry dear”
” Come here princess let me do it for you” i heard mum’s voice.
She smiled and ran to her.
Mum brushed her hair.
” Grandma i like the way you are brushing it but dad’s doesn’t know how to do it” she said.
” Don’t worry princess.. your grandma will do it perfectly for you” mum said.
She smiled.
” I love you Grandma” she said.
” I love you too”
” Grandma please help brush mine too” Angel said.
” Okay my dear”
She finished Mabel’s hair and move to angel’s hair.
She finished it and peck their forehead they smiled.
” Kids will you please go play in your room? Mum asked.
” Yes grandma” Angel said.
They both ran out.
” Nathan, you see what am talking about.. even the kids are complaining” she said.
” Mum, they are not complaining” i said.
” How else do you want them to complain? They are just kids.. you can’t brush their hair.. am always the one taking care of them” she said.
” They are your grand children mum”
” And they your children Nathan” she half yelled.
I sighed.
” I understand Sarah has been the best wife and also the best daughter in law but what has happened has happened.. nothing can change that why don’t you consider getting another mum for these kids” she said.
” No one can replace Sarah’s place in my heart” i said looking at her.
” Nathan but..
” Mum please I will like to be alone” i said not looking at her.
She sighed and left
I got the frame hanged on the wall.
It is the picture of Sarah and I smiling.
Tears dropped from my eyes.
” Why Sarah?
” Why did you have to leave me?
” why didn’t you take me along with you?
” You promised to love me and be there for me all the rest of my life.
” Why didn’t you fulfil your promise.
” Why?
Angel and Mabel needs you.
” We all need you, why did you leave me so early? I cried.
It is all my fault if I didn’t impregnated you, you wouldn’t have die while giving birth to our child” I yelled in tears.
You would have been here with me and the kids.
I cried hærd.
🌷Mrs Raymond 🌷
I stood at the door.
Nathan had been crying so hærd
Blaming himself for Sarah’s death.
I felt bad seeing my son that way.
Sarah was the best wife and the best mother to the kids but it happened she died in the labour room while giving birth to their third child.
She died with the child three years ago.
It’s was a big blow to Nathan.
He sued the hospital to court after so much pleading he withdrew the case.
Ever since Sarah’s death he became cold.
He built walls around him.
He only smiled at the kids.
It’s been three years but he is still hurt..
He was once a loving and caring man but he is now quiet, snobbish, cold and ruthless.
Sarah’s death really got to him.
I got into in,side and met him crying hærdly.
I touched his shoulder.
He turned and hugged me tightly..
” It’s okay son” i said patting his back.
” Why did she leave me mom? Why did death took her away? Why mom?” He cried hærd.
I sighed.
” It’s okay son.
🌷Rose 🌷
I woke up this morning.
I got into the sitting room and met mum there as usual.
I signed.
” Good morning mum” i greeted.
” Morning? Look at your time young lady, well I don’t blame you, you are such a lazy bone” she said.
” Mum I..
” Keep your f1lthy mouth shut before I reset your memory with $laps.. go into the kitchen now and prepare breakfast and when you are done I have lots of clothes for you there and when you are done make sure you clean the cars” she said.
” Mum…isn’t that too much?
She stood up and $lapped me.
” Too much? Uhn? But if you want to eat my food it is not too much for you right? Young lady get into that kitchen now before I pounce on you” she yelled angrily.
I scurried into the kitchen.
I prepared the breakfast and called mom and dad to the dining.
I took my portion of food going into my room
” Rose, where are you going? Dad asked..
I looked at mum but she looked away.
I sighed.
” To eat in my room” i said.
” Why? He asked.
” No my dear, sit and eat with us” he said.
” No dad I…
” Keep quiet young lady sit and eat your food” mum said.
I sat down and we all ate quietly.
I felt dad’s gaze on me.
I felt uncomfortable.
We finished eating.
I cleared and washed the dishes.
” Before I came back into the house, make sure you have finished all what I have to you and don’t use my washing machine if you don’t want to see h’ll on Earth” she said walking out.
I sighed.
If only my parents were alive.
I took the baskets of clothes and washed it for three hours..
Am very tired.
I got outside and washed the cars.
I got into my room tired.
Tears dropped from my eyes.
” If only my parents were alive, all these wouldn’t be happening to me.
Death why did you took my parents away from me?.
Mum, Dad why did you leave me to suffer this way?
I cried myself to sleep.
I felt someone touching my legs up to my th1gh.
I opened my eyes and was shocked to see dad.
” Dad” i called shocked.
” Shushhhh, don’t shout” he said covering my mouth.
